Does anyone else have this problem? Where should I report this?

Not sure, but you could try using the generic repositories instead of the us one's. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the us. from the addresses like us.archive.ubuntu.com becomes archive.ubuntu.com

I just wanted to thank you. I've been working for a while on installing GnuCash and had the MD5 Checksum error. Good advice, it worked perfectly

I just did a clean install of hoary and was having trouble installing some packages. I edited like you said and went back and they all installed fine! :)

Thanks a lot, as the people above have already said, it works! I tried installing another package today, actually two other ones (libgnet and pan (which depends on libgnet)) and had the same checksum issue, so I guess there seems to be a serious problem with the us repository then.

I have the same problem & I thnk that always happend when apt start getting somthing from Us archives mirror like this (Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu...s/libsndfile/li bsndfile1_1.0.10-2_i386.deb MD5Sum mismatch)
That always happend nowadays I don't know why although I just installed a clean installation.
